Wednesday, August 24th, 2016

 

Aspiring MHKs have until 1pm on Wednesday to declare

It's Nomination Day in the 2016 House of Keys general election.

Anyone wishing to stand as a candidate in one of the Island's 12 constituencies has until 1pm to declare their intention (24 August).

Nomination papers will be checked by returning officers and a short period allowed for any objections to be raised.

Each returning officer will then issue a list of confirmed candidates - before campaigning begins in earnest.

Island residents go to the polls to elect 24 members of the Keys on 22 September.
